Console Port
The console port allows you to access the switch either locally (through a console terminal) or remotely
(through a modem). The console port is an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous, serial connection with hardware
flow control and an RJ-45 connector. This section covers the following topics:
• Console Port Cables and Adapters, page B-1
• CONSOLE PORT MODE Switch (Supervisor Engine 2 Only), page B-2
Console Port Cables and Adapters
The Catalyst 6500 series switch comes with an accessory kit that contains the cable and adapters you
need to connect a console (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) or modem to
the supervisor engine console port. The accessory kit includes the following items:
• RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable
• RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled “Terminal”)
• RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter (labeled “Terminal”)
• RJ-45-to-DB-25 male DCE adapter (labeled “Modem”)
Note This is the same rollover cable and connector adapters that ship with many other Cisco products.
